Oh My!

Procrastination is such a nasty critter! It's one I wrestle with on a daily basis and you'd think that after all these years I'd be the reigning champ, but I'm not.

So, what am I procrastinating over? It's so silly I'm rather embarrassed! I received an award and I didn't know what to do with it!

It's a truly wonderful event that blew my socks off! Kristen, over at Exemplify, gifted me with The Brilliant Weblog Award, and it has astounded me. Thank you so much, Kristen! I love your blog(s!) because I can learn while I laugh and cry—sometimes even at the same time. You're a cup of Sonshine in my days!The rules for this particular award allow me to pass this award on to other brilliant bloggers--I only chose three:

Joanne at An Open Book has been a well spring of encouragement and inspiration for a year-and-a-half now. She shines brilliantly for her Lord. There are so many days when she not only encourages me, but spurs me on. Much of what I accomplish can be traced back to her. She amazes me with her productivity!

Bonnie Winters at Ink it --I met Bonnie at Shoutlife over a year ago and she's better than wonderful! She's brilliant. Her love for her Saviour and for women is precious and heartwarming. When I was brand-spanking new to blogging her friendship gave me courage to try it and stick with it. Bonnie's Biblical fiction is some of the best I've read and I look forward to each piece I get to read.

Journey Across the Sky has blessed me many times. His post last Wednesday (July 22 '08) was simply brilliant. I left there with a whole new understanding of 'the devil made me do it' and it's a graphic picture and post that I will not soon forget! Thank you! (I think procrastination qualifies as 'delay' don't you?)

I hope these blogs bless you as much as they've blessed me! Thank you, Kristen! You're a cup of Sonshine!

Oh, Peejers, thank you SO much for your amazingly kind and wonderful words. I surely needed them this morning. You have humbled me, dear.And a big congratulations, my dear. You are SO deserving of this award.

Thank you Patty for your glowing review and precious accolades concerning my blog at Journey Across the Sky. I write because the Lord has inspired me in someway and living alone I do not have many folks to share with so I sit myself behind my little window to the world and write as the Lord leads. It is such a blessing to know that someone has been blessed by the words that the Lord has given me. I too am blessed each time I re-read and meditate upon these musings. You can really tell when something came from the Lord because there is ALWAYS more for you every time you go back. There is an endless supply of wisdom and encouragement in His words.

Thank you for the award I will have to send someone over to receive it on my behalf. When is the award ceremony? :)

God bless you as you continue to bless others with your thoughts and ponderings.

Dear, sweet Peej!Thank you for your kind words that have encouraged me so much today and for the award too!I will be sure to pass it on to others as well to encourage them.

Of all the weeks when I haven't been able to blog much because of garden produce, blueberries, my MIL's check book balancing act... needless to say it's been hectic and I'm feeling a little dry! Maybe this will help jumpstart the blogging engine again LOL!

Since Patty quit running from God's call on her life and surrendered her pen to Him, she's been happy. Life is never dull as she juggles being a wife, mom to a handful of kids and a couple of Capuchin monkeys, life on the road, and being a writer. As long as she's obeying God's leading, she figures that sanity is a novelty and not a necessity in the zoo she lives in. Patty clings to the promise that God will enable her to do what He asks of her, otherwise she would be living with the scaredy cats at the Funny Farm and not just occasionally visiting. You can find her on Instagram, too, where she daily sneaks in a few sane moments.
